| - Since most of the reviews here are by women, I'll add a little something different by reviewing from a guy's perspective. I'm not in any way a spa pro. Honestly, this was my first full on spa experience. I just hope I didn't get too spoiled or else my standards will be high and all the other spas will have a high expectation to meet. It's Vegas, it's pricey, but it was well worth it.
Even though Qua services men and women, inside is not coed so don't worry ladies, you won't have a bunch of men gauking at you. My first treatment was the Men's Body Optimizer which is like a facial+massage on your back. My artisan was Shannon. She was totally cool and made me feel relaxed and comfortable. I would definitely come back to her for other treatments if I can in the future. The experience was great, my back felt fresh and smooth. I almost fell asleep during the treatment but I didn't want to waste the experience so I fought the sleepiness off.
I have never gotten a manicure ever in my life. My female friends would always suggest it to me but I would just kind of brush it off. This time, I was like screw it and let's go for the full pampering. Shawna worked on me in the barber shop with that. She's cool as hell. She told me, "If you meet a girl tonight and you have better looking fingers/fingernails then her, she's NOT the one you want." I was impressed with the work she done. She was also very knowledgeable with the random questions I had for her that pertained to the hands, fingers, fingernails, etc.
I wished I had more time but now that I know what to expect from Qua, I'm definitely going to give myself plenty of hours the next time I come back. I usually spend my Saturdays in Vegas moping around, recovering from the trainwreck night before. Now, I'm just going to spend it at Qua.
The four different saunas are great. I hopped into 3 out of the 4 and was just lost in a state of trance. Unfortunately, I did not get to try the three bath tubs with different temperatures. Next time!
The "tea room" as they call it is pretty chilled. Just hang out, grab a few non-alcoholic drinks, snacks, chill out in your robe, and watch tv. I didn't have time to use their gym facility either which was a bummer but I'm sure it would've been pretty cool.
The staff was very professional and helpful. They made you feel at home and complied with any request you asked for. I wish I had more time to experience everything but I'll leave that to the next Vegas trip. All I can say is that this experience was "money." I'm definitely going to try to fit it into my future Sin City trips. If you do give Qua a chance, give yourself plenty of time to hang out and utilize what they offer. Don't just come in, get your treatment and leave. You will be missing out on a lot.
